Michael Spencer is the Founder and CEO of Zeno, an electric mobility company building electric motorcycles, battery-swapping infrastructure, and distributed energy systems across East Africa. Drawing on experience from nearly a decade building businesses in East Africa and four years at Tesla during its hypergrowth era, Spencer is applying lessons from EV charging infrastructure to one of the world's largest transportation markets: two- and three-wheel vehicles. In this episode of Inevitable, Spencer explains why electrifying motorcycles in emerging markets may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce transportation costs and emissions. He discusses how Zeno combines hardware, software, and energy infrastructure to create a business that looks like an electric vehicle company on the surface but increasingly operates like a distributed utility. The conversation explores lessons from Tesla's Supercharger network, why Kenya became Zeno's launch market, how battery swapping and AI-powered infrastructure management drive capital efficiency, and why building hard-tech businesses may become even more valuable in an AI-driven world. Spencer also shares his vision for turning Zeno's charging network into a distributed renewable energy platform capable of serving both mobility and grid customers.

  Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from another 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow solo travelers, share experiences, and help build world peace, one person at a time. The FAQ is: Do you feel isolated as an American traveling now?  I've been solo traveling quite a bit over the past year, and I've noticed a trend. There have been multiple times when people in a group have discussed where they're from and asked questions about each other's countries. And then it gets to me, and I say the US, and it goes silent until the conversation moves on to someone else. It happens in hostels and bars. In fact, I've had multiple times where I say I'm American and the person will just instantly walk away. I know my country has done awful things that have earned this reputation. It's just disappointing that it creates a slightly isolating feeling at first. Luckily, I've had experiences where people have been really friendly, and I hope to have more of those. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I want to make it clear to those from the United States that they should not let this discourage them. The majority of my interactions don't go this way. I'm posting because I've had repeated, small incidents in several countries and want to see if others have noticed a pattern. Even when they happen, they've never felt more than just passive-aggressive.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, the Confidence Challenge in Johannesburg, is safety.    If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into how to feel safe when you travel alone. I also discuss my safari in Kenya, part of East Africa. You may want to book a safari in South Africa and read the book as you move through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with tips on foreign-language communication. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern.  Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Johannesburg, South Africa. Today, we're talking about Johannesburg, or "Joburg," a place that may not feel easy at first—but that's exactly why it matters. We will cover the Apartheid Museum, Soweto, Mandela, soccer, Maboneng, Rosebank, and Sandton. We'll also tell you about a good tour guide and how to get informed. Let's be clear: this is not a relaxed, wander-anywhere kind of destination. But if you approach it thoughtfully, it becomes one of the most eye-opening cultural experiences you can have. So let's walk through what's worth your time and what requires your attention. Johannesburg is not built for tourists—it's built from history. Gold mining in the 1800s created the city. Apartheid shaped it. And today, you feel both, everywhere. You'll notice: Stark contrasts between wealth and poverty Gated neighborhoods, security systems, and guarded homes Areas where the infrastructure feels inconsistent And if you're willing to see it clearly, this city teaches you something few others can. The Apartheid Museum If you are on a solo or group tour, start here. Not optional. The Apartheid Museum is one of the most powerful museums in the world. You don't just read history—you walk through it. Give yourself at least 2–3 hours. And be ready—it's emotionally heavy. Soweto + Mandela's Legacy   Next, visit Soweto—short for "South Western Township." Soweto is where history becomes personal. Before your trip, if you can, read Mandela's book, The Long Walk to Freedom. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2304771/   Walk down Vilakazi Street—home to both Nobel Peace Prize winners from the area. Nelson Mandela Desmond Tutu Visit the Nelson Mandela House, now a museum. You'll see: Local life Street vendors Music, dancing, and community But go with a guide. Not optional. There were small fires in the neighborhoods along the roadside, and some traffic lights were not working. Be aware, but be ready to learn.   Want to see a Soccer game while here? There are two teams you can watch at home games.   Johannesburg-based Soweto giants Orlando Pirates play home games at  Orlando Stadium, which the City of Johannesburg owns. While Carling Black Label has recently partnered with Kaizer Chiefs as a sponsor, the teams' major sponsors historically have included Vodacom and others.   https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/43608195/what-soweto-derby-why-kaizer-chiefs-orlando-pirates-south-africa-most-popular-teams   Head to Maboneng, Johannesburg's creative district. Think: Street art Local designers Live music Markets like The Playground It's one of the few places where you can walk more freely—but still stay aware. Grab a meal, enjoy the vibe, but don't linger alone after dark.   Now, let's visit Rosebank + Sandton (Modern Johannesburg)   If you're wondering where things feel familiar—this is it. In Rosebank: Visit the arts and crafts market Browse local goods safely In Sandton: Upscale shopping Restaurants Hotels like Marriott Global brands like Apple and Nike It's polished—but don't confuse that with the whole city. A few dining places to consider: Pata Pata in Maboneng Salvation Café https://www.salvationcafe.co.za/ Looking for a travel guide in Johannesburg? Here's a suggestion. Beck N Coll. Benoni is Colleen Becker's hometown, just outside of Johannesburg. Her grown Son is Calvin. She's married to Glenn. "Beck n Coll "is their travel company name.  Through other means,nsuch aske Servas and Host a Sister, they have had 70-plus guests so far. Help them by booking your trip with them. Here is the website for more info. This episode is not a sponsored post. They can book you on a safari tour as they are experts here.   https://www.beckncoll.co.za/ https://www.instagram.com/hostasister/ Here is more on Host A Sister. It's  a global Facebook community connecting women worldwide to share homes for free, fostering friendship, cultural exchange, and safe, budget-friendly travel. Members (women and non-binary individuals) offer accommodation, local meetups, and travel advice without monetary exchange, ensuring it remains a non-dating platform, and I used it here. I met Colleen through Servas, and she told me about Host a Sister, which I used later in my 90-day trip. Let's summarize and add value with my reality check: Not every place will feel intuitive or walkable—plan your stops. You'll hear "be careful," and you should question what that actually means. Here's the reality: Do not travel alone at night Use Uber or arrange drivers Stay in known areas (Sandton, Rosebank) Avoid spontaneous wandering Keep your phone out of sight in public But also, don't assume constant danger. Many travelers report no issues when they stay aware and structured, like me. This guidance is not fear-based travel. It's informed travel. Johannesburg is not about comfort. It's about understanding. You will see: Inequality Resilience Creativity   My missteps: Wrong Airport in Johannesburg   Travel Mistake to Avoid    I should have booked Johannesburg's other airport from Cape Town. I didn't realize there were two airports, and I picked the cheaper one. I ended up on the wrong side of town and had to Uber from the airport to the train station. Then I got on the train and got to my destination.   So, in the end, I did not save any money.   Check the airport before you book Safari Air!   Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.

Every history class taught you the same thing — that World War One generals were butchers. Incompetent men in châteaux, sipping wine while sending millions to die in the mud. But what if that story is only half true? In this episode, we cut through the myth and rank the greatest generals of World War One — the commanders who didn't just follow orders, but genuinely outthought, outfought, and outmanoeuvred the enemy. We set strict criteria for what makes a general truly great, and the results might surprise you. We start with Alexei Brusilov, whose 1916 offensive on the Eastern Front remains one of the most brilliantly executed campaigns in military history — the only major Russian success of the war. Then we head to Gallipoli, where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk — the only Ottoman general to achieve anything meaningful during the conflict — became a legend that would shape an entire nation. Moving to the Middle East, Edmund Allenby masterminded the Palestine campaign, delivering one of the few clear-cut Allied victories of the war. On the Western Front, John Monash transformed the Australian Corps into arguably the most effective fighting force of 1918, with the Battle of Hamel as his masterpiece. His Canadian counterpart, Arthur Currie, rose from the bottom rung of a pre-war militia to lead the Canadian Corps through the Hundred Days Offensive with surgical precision. Meanwhile, the infamous duo of Hindenburg and Ludendorff dominated German strategy — brilliant operationally, catastrophic strategically. And then there's the most extraordinary story of the entire war: Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, who led a tiny German colonial force in East Africa on a four-year guerrilla campaign that tied down hundreds of thousands of Allied troops and never surrendered — not once. Who truly deserves the title of the greatest general of the Great War?

This conversation I have with Jennifer Awili is one I'll be thinking about for a long time. She's a 34-year-old accountant from Uganda who felt a quiet prompting from God to go speak to eight men drinking alcohol on the edge of a war zone... and forty people gave their lives to Christ that afternoon. Four years later, over 150,000 people have come to the Lord through a movement she never planned to lead.Jennifer Awili is an accountant with Open Grace International, a disciple-making organization based in Uganda. She leads a grassroots DMM (Disciple Making Movement) in the Karamoja region, one of the most dangerous and historically violent areas in East Africa.Here's what we explore:▪️ The fear Jennifer had to push through to walk up to those eight men... and what happened when one of them, around 60 years old, started crying and asking if God could really forgive someone like him▪️ How the Karamoja region, a place where people locked their doors at 6:30pm out of fear, is now experiencing real, measurable peace because ex-warriors are leading discipleship groups▪️ The oral learner method Jennifer's team uses to disciple people who can't read or write, and how it multiplies through wives sharing with husbands and parents sharing with children▪️ What Jennifer says it actually feels like when God is speaking... and how she knows the difference between a random thought and a real prompting▪️ The four-tier leadership structure (facilitators, coordinators, coaches, coach of coaches) that allowed this movement to grow far beyond what Jennifer could manage alone▪️ Miracles she's witnessed firsthand, including more than 20 women who had been barren for over 15 years conceiving after prayer▪️ What Jennifer would say to any woman... or anyone... who feels too ordinary, too disqualified, or too afraid to take the step God is inviting them intoChapters: 00:00 Intro01:43 Jennifer's Background and the Karamoja Region04:50 The Day She Obeyed: Eight Men, Forty Lives, One Afternoon07:40 How the Gospel Brought Peace to a Place Known for Violence15:53 What Listening to God Actually Sounds Like in Practice24:06 Miracles and God Using People Nobody Expected31:25 What Jennifer Would Say to Anyone Afraid to Take the StepIf Jennifer's story stirred something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it.

Ibrahim Akasha was the kingpin of East Africa's heroin highway, setting up a massive tracking empire that stretched from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran to Kenya, South Africa and Europe. When he was gunned down in 2000, his sons stepped into the void, hungrier and even more violent...but also, more sloppy. They struck deals with Pakistani mobsters and Colombian cartels, turning Kenya's ports into gateways for global dope. But their empire crumbled in a DEA sting straight out of a Hollywood script. *Note: Sean disappeared while on vacation in Amsterdam, Danny had to be hospitalized post Knicks win, so we took a week off for the first time in a year.

Uganda is often described as a country full of potential. But beneath the optimism, many Ugandans are navigating rising costs, economic pressure, uncertainty, and growing skepticism about the future. In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, journalist and analyst Angelo Izama discusses Uganda's changing mood, the rise of drug use as a coping mechanism, the country's oil strategy, AFCON 2027, youth frustration, and what the next major economic shock could mean for the region. We also explore the future of Uganda after Museveni and whether the country can translate ambition into lasting prosperity.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com African Languages Experts: https://africanlanguagesexperts.comJoin our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media 

In a Muslim village in East Africa, 47 people confessed belief in Christ. But then Christian persecution came. Radical Muslims went house-to-house, threatening new believers and demanding they return to Islam. All but two of the new Christians renounced their faith. Brother Paulo, a leader in YWAM Frontier Missions in East Africa, met the two young men who stood firm for Christ. He asked them how they'd stayed faithful under such intense pressure. "The experience I had with Jesus was so strong that I cannot deny Jesus," the younger of the two men told him. In places like Northern Mozambique, South Sudan, Malawi, Tanzania and other East African countries, Muslim-background believers face persecution from their families and communities. Even those who have grown up in Christian families are likely to face persecution from Muslim communities—especially if they are involved in evangelism or outreach to Muslims. Brother Paulo will share more stories from our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in East Africa, tell how God called him into missions and describe the endurance of churches in the region amid persecution. He will also share how believers prepare to face persecution and how Christians in free nations like the United States can pray for our brothers and sisters in East Africa. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians in nations like North Korea, Nigeria, China and Iran, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content, and feature films.

This episode hosts David Higgins to explore the complex and often misunderstood boundary between military operations, humanitarian action, and political stabilisation in modern conflict environments. Drawing on two decades of experience across the British Army, the United Nations, and geopolitical advisory work, we look at how different institutions operating in the same space can interpret the same conflict in fundamentally different ways, and how those differences shape outcomes on the ground. The discussion focuses on David's central argument that civil-military coordination frameworks still assume a level of clarity between “military space” and “civilian space” that increasingly no longer exists. While these distinctions were difficult but workable in conflicts such as Afghanistan and Somalia, today's environments are far more fragmented, with blurred front lines, overlapping actors, and the increasing weaponisation of civilian domains including information, finance, and infrastructure. As a result, coordination mechanisms risk becoming procedurally active but operationally ineffective. David Higgins is Head of Humanitarian Access and Civil-Military Coordination in Somalia for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). He has spent twenty years working across the civil-military boundary as a British Army infantry officer, humanitarian and stabilisation adviser, and geopolitical analyst, including deployments to Helmand Province and roles across Afghanistan, Iraq, and East Africa. He previously served as Head of Geopolitical Analysis at M&C Saatchi World Services and as a reservist Lieutenant Colonel with the British Army's 77th Brigade, and holds a research master's focused on hybrid threats and UK national security. The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk. From geopolitical instability and organised crime to cybersecurity threats and hybrid warfare, each episode explores the forces transforming our world and what smart leaders must do to navigate them.

In 1898, workers building a railroad bridge in East Africa began disappearing during the night. Rumors spread that supernatural forces were stalking the camp, but the truth was terrifying enough: two lions had begun hunting humans. This week, Michael explores the true story of the Tsavo Man-Eaters, the months-long campaign of fear that threatened one of the British Empire's largest engineering projects, and the scientific mystery that still leaves researchers debating exactly why these lions turned to human prey.

www.determinetruth.com   Can the Bible be used to justify abuse? In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we conclude our series on unhealthy churches, spiritual abuse, and religious trauma with author, theologian, and abuse expert Steve Tracy. Steve shares decades of experience helping churches understand abuse, respond wisely to victims, and avoid the misuse of Scripture that often protects abusers instead of the vulnerable.   Topics include: How common abuse is inside churches Why some churches still fail to respond appropriately The misuse of complementarian theology and authority structures "Touch Not God's Anointed" and other frequently abused passages Proverbs and corporal punishment The proper interpretation of 1 Timothy 5 and accusations against leaders Why biblical justice prioritizes the vulnerable How churches can protect abuse survivors The role of humility in biblical interpretation Stories of healing and restoration through Mending the Soul We also discuss Steve's ministry work throughout East Africa, where churches are being equipped to care for trauma survivors and bring healing in some of the world's most difficult circumstances. Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, survivor of abuse, or simply someone seeking a healthier understanding of biblical authority, this conversation offers practical wisdom, theological clarity, and genuine hope.  

Africa once again has an Ebola outbreak. At this point, it is centered in the so-called Greak Lakes region, with the largest number of cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Uganda has also seen several cases. Sadly this is not new news. But it takes place in the context of a weakened World Health Organization, with the US withdrawal, and a stark memory of the Covid outbreaks. It also is exacerbated by the shuttering of USAID and severe cuts in health funding from the Trump Administration. The United States is insisting that any American that tests positive for the virus would be treated outside of the country, provoking protests in East Africa such as in Kenya. So is the Ebola outbreak a potential pandemic? What has been the most effective means to treat these kinds of outbreaks. And how does it influence the current intense discourses about health care delivery and wellness in the United States.

Turkey is expanding its military training programmes across Africa, with soldiers from Mali and Niger graduating from a special forces camp as Ankara seeks to deepen ties across the continent. The soldiers completed training this month at Turkey's special forces camp in Isparta. The approach, known as the "Somalia model" after Turkey's largest overseas base, has become central to Ankara's strategy in Africa. "The Somalia model is one of the Turkish military ideas to educate, train certain African states that are very much interested in military cooperation with Turkey," said Huseyin Bagci, an international relations professor at Ankara's Middle East Technical University. "Turkey has done it to Central Asian countries in the 90s, in the 2000s. So now the African is on the line, and this is the new development and is good for Turkey." Turkey has signed more than 20 military training cooperation deals across Africa in recent years. Turkey courts Libya's rival factions in bid to further Mediterranean ambitions Growing ties "Somalia and Libya are central where Turkey does have training bases," said Nebahat Tanriverdi Yasar, a defence expert at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. "But also, we are seeing growing ties with Sahelian countries, especially Niger, Mali, Nigeria." Turkey sees military training as a cost-effective way to increase its influence in Africa. "It is a relatively low-cost way to present itself in sensitive theaters, with fewer operational costs and risk of direct intervention. So in a way, those relations serve as a tool for defense diplomacy," Yasar said. Turkey has moved swiftly to capitalise on the vacuum left by France's retreating military and fading diplomatic sway in West Africa and the Sahel. Meanwhile, African nations increasingly view Turkey as a counterweight to the rising influence of Russia and China. Turkey expands military footprint in Somalia as regional rivalries intensify Libya's role Turkey's training of Libyan forces linked to rival administrations also serves European interests because Libya has become a crucial gateway for people smugglers heading into Europe, said Aya Burweilla, a Libya expert at the Athens-based Center for Hellenic and Mediterranean Studies. "Libya with an army that can secure its borders is good for Europe, too," Burweilla said. "Libya has two seas, one in the desert and one on the Mediterranean. And you need a properly organized army that can keep the border safe." Turkey's military training programmes are also helping the country's booming defence industry. "If you train them, they should use Turkish weapons; this is very normal. When you look at the export of Turkish arms to the world, you see mostly to African countries," said Bagci. Turkey's growing defence ties are helping to bring African military and political leaders to industry events in Turkey. "It is not easy to make business, of course, with African countries, with the military leaders there, it is not easy. But when you look at military fairs in Istanbul, you see how many African countries' military and political leaders visit," Bagci said. Turkey boosts Mali defence ties after separatist and jihadist attacks Defence links Turkish arms sales, such as military drones now found across Africa, often include extensive training, intelligence sharing and diplomatic engagement. Training junior officers in countries like Somalia, some destined to become future generals, could also help Turkey build long-term relationships, said Omar Mahmood, East Africa analyst at the International Crisis Group. "You invest in the up and coming of the Somali security force, and you'll have some sort of long-standing ties going forward," Mahmood said. "Some of them are trained in the Turkish language as well, so that creates these sorts of bonds. So, absolutely, I think that's part of their strategic plan. It kind of shows a longer-term vision as well."

Have you ever stayed somewhere, a job, a relationship, a version of yourself, not because it felt right, but because it paid the bills or because it's what you were supposed to do? My friend Spencer West has. And what he did next is one of the most quietly courageous things I've heard in a long time. Spencer was born with a genetic condition that led to the amputation of both legs before he was five. He came out as gay when the world around him said that wasn't an option. He spent years in a career that looked great from the outside and felt completely hollow on the inside.  And then, one day, he said enough, and he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. On his hands. To raise clean water for thousands of people. What got me was the Alchemist quote he shared at the end of our conversation (you'll hear it -- just stay with us to the close).  And the reminder that the universe was calling the whole time. He just had to pick up. Be sure to listen to the calls you're getting from the universe, and please, always be kind, gentle, and loving with yourself.   About Spencer West Spencer West is a motivational speaker, content creator, and author of Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself. Born with a genetic condition that led to the amputation of both legs before age five, Spencer spent years navigating a world full of expectations that were never his -- until he finally stopped pretending and started listening to his soul. In 2012, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on his hands, raising clean water for 12,500 people in East Africa. Today he travels the world helping others ask the questions that change everything: Why am I here? And what would it look like to actually break free?   About Your Host, Julie Reisler Julie Reisler is a heart-led intuitive guide, TEDx speaker, author, and host of The You-est You® Podcast.

Matt Oh was an engineer with a stable career and a 9-to-5 when a mission trip to India stopped him in his tracks. He saw something he couldn't unsee — women and children spending 10 hours a day walking to collect dirty water.In 2015, he founded FOREFRONT Charity with a few college friends and one water well. Today, more than 100,000 people across India, Kenya, and East Africa have been impacted through clean water, education, medical care, and empowerment. 105 water wells drilled. A school built, in which 20% of the students once worked in child labor, that now serves more than 250 first-generation students. A 90% program efficiency rate. Clearly, an engineer is running this.

Darrell Castle talks about the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard from her position as Director of National Intelligence, and why she made the decision to resign. Was it because of her husband’s illness or something else. Transcription / Notes TULSI'S GONE Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 29th day of May in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard from her position as Director of National Intelligence, and about why Tulsi made the decision to resign. Was her decision because of her husband's illness or was it something else. Tulsi never seemed to fit into Washington like a typical Washington politician. She never seemed willing to lie and cheat her way to the top as is typical of Washington. From the beginning of her prominence, she seemed a little too honest and too forthright for Washington politics. Nevertheless, she was a politician having served as a Democrat in congress from the state of Hawaii. She left congress and ran for president as a Democrat but lost in the primary to Joe Biden. She became disenchanted with the Democrat Party and decided to back President Trump in his run for that office. President Trump appointed her Director of National Intelligence, in theory the most important national security position in the country. The U.S. now has 18 intelligence agencies or departments if you count their various components and they all report to the Director of National Intelligence, but once in the office I imagine that the DNI found out who holds the real power in the intelligence world. When I learned a few weeks ago that the CIA had apparently broken into, raided, or whatever you want to call the CIA's visit to their boss's office, I knew Tulsi would soon be gone. Whistleblower James Erdman blew his whistle in congress and testified that the CIA had “seized” documents from their secure area in the office of the DNI. Some of the files they seized related to the assassination, or perhaps their assassination, of JFK. They apparently also took the files related to MKULTRA which was and probably is the CIA's experimental program designed to alter and control human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs and torture. They sought to and apparently did learn the art of mind control including control of whole populations through these experiments. There are people who exist now who are suing the CIA in an effort to get some answers to the questions of what happened to their minds and the minds of their parents because of MKULTRA. That's not all they got because apparently they got the files on “Havana Syndrome” in which U.S. diplomats and others stationed in Havana and other places were apparently subjected to some kind of mind-altering rays. In response to the CIA raid, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and James Comer (R-KY) chairman of the house Oversight Committee, sent a preservation letter to the CIA demanding that all evidence related to the taken or stolen material be preserved. I imagine the CIA got a good laugh over that letter as they endeavored to show naive members of Congress who actually runs this country. Apparently someone spoke to someone and explained the facts of life as it exists in Washington because when that letter of preservation became public people started to backtrack their statements. Even Erdman, the whistleblower said no I didn't say it was a raid instead I just said CIA refused to comply with “lawful oversight and documented everts to circumvent oversight.” He testified to Congress that not only did CIA refuse to comply with the directives of the ODNI Director's Initiatives Group (DIG) investigations into the origins of COVID-19 and other “phenomena” but retaliated against those who did not support their own conclusions. Quoting long-term CIA agent Erdman, “The CIA illegally monitored the computer and phone usage of DIG personnel, their investigations, and contact with whistleblowers, which significantly impacted Director Gabbard's implementation of several Eo's issued during this administration and tasked to the DIG.” In addition, “when the DIG ceased operations, the CIA also took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKULTRA files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard.” The CIA's spying was referenced as tracking every keystroke of DIG personnel as they processed files directed by presidential EO to be released or unclassified. These files included files concerning JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, the origins of COVID-19, Crossfire Hurricane, The Biden Administration's domestic surveillance, Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI) and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. So, just speculating here folks, but trying to do it with logic I think it went something like this. The President appoints this intelligent and experienced, but most importantly honest woman to head the nation's intelligence organizations. He then says that as he campaigned on a pledge to be transparent and release long classified files he issues an Executive Order (EO) to that effect. Tulsi, his DNI, who most likely took the job based on a promise to be forthcoming, sets out to obey the President's EO. She appoints a working group from among those in the office of the DNI which she calls DIG to sort through the files to determine if there was anything that should not be released. The CIA completely ignored that  report to DNI which was Tulsi and in fact they ignore or refuse to abide by the direct written orders of the President of the United States. They break into, or raid, if that is better, her office, take the files and even congress can't get them back. My conclusion, then, is that this case reveals as clearly as anything has who or what runs this country. I knew when I heard the story of what happened and looked into it that Tulsi would not be able to remain in the administration. Who would want to be director of the office that controls American intelligence agencies, all 18 of them, if one of those agencies was completely exempt from you, their boss's orders, and apparently didn't even follow the orders of the President. So, is that why she resigned because she didn't say that it was. In fact, she didn't complain about the President's inability or unwillingness to control the CIA but instead she thanked him and the American people for the opportunity to serve. In her letter she cited her husband Abraham and his diagnosis of a “extremely rare form of bone cancer” as the reason. She said he had stood by her every step of the way including when her Army guard unit was deployed to East Africa and through her political campaigns so she wanted to be with him full-time during such a difficult time. In 18 months as DNI she restructured the office, cutting its size and saving the American people more than $700 million per year. She launched many investigations and sought the release of previously classified material related to the programs previously listed. She has declassified more than 500,000 pages thus far. Her National Counterterrorism Center stopped thousands of narco-terrorists from entering the country until finally its head, Joe Kent, publicly resigned citing the Iran war as the reason. I saw her interviewed on the Shawn Ryan Podcast the other day and she was very forthright as she normally is. She said that the people who opposed her in her efforts were very intolerant of anyone who believes in God because in their minds they are God. They are the ultimate deciders of right and wrong and their choices are never wrong because they determine what right is. If a person opposes them, even if their boss opposes them, that person is on the way out. She said that before she goes at the end of June she will release many files related to the programs in question. Likely, these files will be released in weekly installments over the weeks of June. Her deputy director, Aaron Lukas, will serve as acting director until a permanent director is appointed. I predict without knowing one way or the other that the new director will have a CIA or perhaps military, meaning ex-General background. Politicians seem to be sweating over the prospect of files related to Crossfire Hurricane or the Russia gate hoax and other weaponization of law programs. I'm just speculating because I admit I don't know but I will wager that Tulsi grew very weary of constantly trying to follow presidential directives and being stymied at every turn while doing so. That type of constant stress is very difficult to bear long term.  Why would the CIA take her JFK files along with the other assassination files. That's a good question isn't it but the answer is very obvious but unsayable in public. Yes I know the assassinations were all done by lone nuts who were killed or prosecuted without any real investigation but nothing to see here folks just move along. Finally, folks, Tulsi seems to be an intelligent, honest woman who loves her country and its people and who puts them before any political party. There aren't many left like her and I for one will miss her. I wish her well. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, who operate a Global Delivery Centre in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, has expanded its global cloud portfolio with the launch of SovereignSecure Cloud in Europe. This bespoke offering, designed specifically for governments, public sector enterprises, and regulated industries, combines sovereign cloud architecture with AI capabilities to enable sovereignty across data, operations and digital infrastructure. In the European Union (EU), the offerings will enable enterprises to achieve digital autonomy, strengthen regulatory compliance and enhanced security in an increasingly complex global environment without compromising on the speed, agility, and interoperability essential to modern businesses. The launch of TCS SovereignSecure Cloud in the EU builds on its successful rollout in India in 2025, followed by expansions into Kenya, East Africa and the Philippines. TCS SovereignSecure Cloud for the EU has been designed to provide strategic autonomy through a multi-layered approach. It comprises a sovereign cloud layer delivered through hyperscalers, providing scale and the flexibility to operate securely within the EU regulatory framework. The national sovereign cloud layer enables country-specific localisation while bringing operations under a unified control plane. And its enterprise cloud services layer leverages the EU-specific TCS Enterprise Cloud Framework, a unified orchestration and control layer that enables enterprises to dynamically apply the appropriate level of sovereignty across data, operations, and technology based on workload, risk, and sector. Sapthagiri Chapalapalli, Head of Europe, TCS, said, "European organisations are looking to strike a balance between addressing supply chain and sovereignty risks while ensuring leverage of frontier technologies to be globally competitive. TCS SovereignSecure Cloud solutions mark an important milestone for TCS in Europe, as our customers can now benefit from a pragmatic approach to cloud that ensures resilience and sovereignty that is contextualised to the enterprise." TCS is also introducing the TCS Sovereignty Consulting and Delivery Framework in the EU to help organisations become a "minimum viable sovereign enterprise" by finding the right balance between control and flexibility. It recognises that not all workloads need the same level of sovereign protection. Using a practical, risk-based approach, it categorises workloads by importance and applies the right level of sovereignty to each, focusing effort where they deliver the greatest impact and risk mitigation. As enterprises and governments across Europe accelerate their digital transformation journeys, the need for secure, compliant and sovereign cloud architectures has never been more critical. With SovereignSecure Cloud, TCS is bringing together the scale of hyperscalers, localised sovereign controls, and AI-led capabilities to help organisations achieve digital autonomy without compromising on agility, innovation or operational resilience. This new TCS SovereignSecure Cloud offering leverages TCS' strength in the European region, enabling organisations to innovate and grow with more flexibility. Operating in Europe for over 45 years, TCS has a diverse workforce operating from 58 offices across the region. TCS drives digital transformation for some of Europe's leading multinationals adapting to the changing digital landscape of today across industries such as banking and financial services, manufacturing, telecom, retail, travel, logistics, and more. TCS is committed to serving as a trusted IT service provider across its TCS European Delivery Network of 10 data centres and 21 delivery locations across Europe and in Ireland where their operation in Letterkenny was integral in the rollout of Ireland's national pension auto-enrollment scheme, known as 'My Future Fund', going live in January 2026.

In this Tough Girl Podcast EXTRA episode, we catch up with Helen Dainty — solo female cyclist, self-described "full-time global hobo," and one of the most committed long-distance bike travellers you'll ever meet. For the past decade, Helen has spent nine years on the road, travelling exclusively by bicycle and living on around £50 a week. She's cycled across Australia, ridden from London to Nordkapp and back, travelled extensively through the Middle East and North Africa — and in 2025 became the first woman to cycle across Libya. When war in Sudan forced her to abandon an overland route into East Africa, Helen adapted and rerouted — because that's what life on the road demands: flexibility, resilience, and the ability to trust the process. In this episode, we dive into what's happened since we last spoke in January 2022. From navigating complex visa systems (including Algeria and Libya), to travelling with police security details, being detained in Libya, and accepting incredible hospitality through the Warm Showers community — Helen shares the raw, practical realities of long-term cycle touring. We also talk about: The logistics of visas with a British passport Working with visa agents and last-minute plan changes Cycling in Algeria and Libya Budget travel (sticking to AUD $100 per week) Her bike setup — switching from chain to belt drive Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres and long-distance reliability Not collecting souvenirs and living with less Documenting her journey on YouTube (and the time spent editing!) Saying yes to unexpected opportunities Helen also opens up about going through perimenopause and menopause while cycling through deserts — dealing with extreme sadness, brain fog, hot sweats in the middle of the night, and coming out the other side feeling stronger and more balanced. At 47, she believes she has another strong decade of adventure ahead — and she's not slowing down. Looking forward, Helen plans to spend the next two years cycling down the west coast of Africa in an attempt to circle the continent, before eventually heading back towards Australia through Asia. Her advice for women wanting to do something different? Say yes to the opportunity — you can work out the details on the way. Accept without hesitation.

The ongoing outbreak of hantavirus infections that originated with passengers on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius in April has generated concerns across the globe. This very rare occurrence has led to a number of deaths, required quarantining of passengers and prompted emergency responses from public health authorities in multiple countries.  On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, we're tapping the expertise of a leading authority on the subject, Dr. Jamie Childs of Yale University, to provide you with a scientific understanding of hantaviruses and what level of threat is posed by this situation. In short, Dr. Childs believes this is not the start of a pandemic. “The Andes variant involved here is one of the most dangerous hantaviruses, but it is totally controllable with contact tracing.” This timely conversation with host Lindsey Smith is informed by Dr. Childs' decades of hantavirus research as well as learnings from his role leading the CDC's environmental investigation during the landmark 1993 hantavirus outbreak in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. And be sure to stay tuned to hear his concerns about the factors complicating containment of the current Ebola outbreak in East Africa. Note: this conversation was recorded on May 19th, 2026.

Jack Langton is an adventurer, storyteller, and founder of The HUMN Project, a storytelling platform built around one simple idea: everyone has a story worth telling. After growing up in Connecticut and spending time in corporate America, Jack found himself pulled toward a different kind of life, one shaped by adventure, curiosity, and human connection.That pull became impossible to ignore after Jack set out on an 8,000-mile bike journey from London to Singapore. What began as a massive physical challenge became something deeper. Along the way, Jack crossed deserts, mountain ranges, remote villages, and unfamiliar borders. He dealt with broken bike parts, long days in extreme heat, language barriers, and stretches of uncertainty. But again and again, he was met by the kindness of strangers, from people offering food and water to families opening their homes.When Jack returned to work, life no longer felt the same. The adventure had changed him. Soon after, he left his corporate job and began building The HUMN Project, a platform focused on sharing extraordinary human stories from around the world. His journey has taken him across the United States and into East Africa, where he has filmed stories about real-life superheroes helping the unhoused, young women escaping harmful cultural practices, people with albinism advocating for their communities, and kids finding purpose through skateboarding.In this episode, Scott and Jack talk about the courage to start before you feel ready, the power of listening to unheard stories, and how adventure can become a doorway to purpose. It is a conversation about risk, calling, human connection, and what can happen when you stop waiting for the perfect plan and simply go.

For decades, much of the United States media adopted Washington's framing of US conflicts in the Middle East. But the US-Israel war against Iran is defying that trend. US news outlets are increasingly challenging President Donald Trump on his declarations of victory and absence of a clear strategy. Meanwhile, Iran's military remains operational, Tehran retains control of the Strait of Hormuz and fears are mounting that the disruption to global energy supplies will drag on. Contributors:  Mohamad Elmasry - professor of media studies, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies Negar Mortazavi - host, Iran Podcast Maral Karimi - lecturer, Toronto Metropolitan University Sultan Barakat - senior professor in public policy, Hamad Bin Khalifa University On our radar Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign trips are usually tightly choreographed affairs. But his trip to Norway did not go according to plan when a journalist named Helle Lyng asked him an unscripted question. Lyng was later criticised by Indian news outlets for that exchange. Norway's news media also came under fire after the country's largest newspaper published an orientalist caricature of Modi. Tariq Nafi has been following the story. The dark side of Kenya's digital age Kenya is the tech hub of East Africa and has built a thriving digital economy. But alongside that growth has come an expanding surveillance apparatus. After antigovernment protests in 2024, President William Ruto's administration is accused of intensifying its monitoring of civilians. Critics say the government is trying to quell online dissent before it reaches the streets. Nicholas Muirhead reports on how surveillance tools designed to combat "terrorism" are being turned on Kenya's citizens.

In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Okwir Rabwoni reflects on a life shaped by revolution, ideology, and war across East Africa. After leaving school at 17 to join the National Resistance Army, Rabwoni trained in Libya and Cuba before later joining the Rwandan Patriotic Front during the liberation war in Rwanda at the request of Major Gen. Fred Rwigema. He would later fight in Congo and work alongside Laurent-Désiré Kabila during one of the region's most transformative periods.The conversation explores revolutionary politics, identity, ideology, Uganda-Rwanda relations, the RPF, the NRA, the Congo wars, Pan-Africanism, Patrice Lumumba, Che Guevara, and what has changed between the revolutionary generation of the 1980s and the youth of today. This is a rare insider account of the wars and political movements that reshaped modern East Africa.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media 

Electric vehicles have a surprisingly long history. Battery-powered cars have existed since 1881. So why did the world choose to spend over a century investing in fossil fuels? Sherrell explores this question with a talk from engineer Doreen Orishaba. Doreen built Africa's first electric vehicle and now runs 100+ electric buses across East Africa. Her success proves that the countries that did not inherit a broken infrastructure may be best positioned to build what comes next. Then digs deeper into the background of electric cars in a TED-ED lesson from Daniel Sperling and Gil Tal.Talks featuredHow to make transportation quieter, cleaner and cheaper | Doreen OrishabaTED-ED: The surprisingly long history of electric cars | Daniel Sperling and Gil Tal Hosted on Acast.

Admittedly, the so-called "Rush to Africa" conjures up the usual European suspects: France, Belgium, and, of course, Britain. But lesser known is Italy who established its own colony in East Africa in a place they called Eritrea (from the Latin name for the Red Sea that borders it). Today, the capital city of Asmara is a hodgepodge of Romanesque churches, Modernist architecture, and businesses with names in both Italian and Tigrinya (the primary native tongue). Come along with me for a tour of this beautiful country and how the Italians shaped the place it became.

An Ebola outbreak in East Africa prompted travel restrictions and new directives for US-bound flights from the affected region. CNN spoke with Jan. 6 rioters and election deniers who could receive compensation from a new slush fund.

Could your years of experience be worth more than your salary suggests?Are you at a point in your career where the ladder no longer feels like the only way up?Are you curious about what it would mean to stop putting all of your expertise into one organisation and start using it in ways that work for you?Have you been quietly wondering whether a portfolio career could be your next move but not sure where to begin?In this episode, I share the moment that changed everything for me - coming back from a mission trip in East Africa and sitting at my desk realising the contrast between the impact I'd just been making and the work I was returning to. I didn't want to burn down what I'd built. So instead, I built on the side. And that decision changed everything.A portfolio career isn't a leap into the unknown. It's a smarter way to use what you've already got.What you'll learn in this episode:Your expertise is already an asset. The foundation of any portfolio career is what you already know - not just your job title, but the depth of experience, the problems you've solved, and the value you create every single day. You've been too busy doing the work to notice how much you've accumulated.Building your safety net. A portfolio career gives you income streams and visibility outside your organisation - and in a market full of layoffs and restructures, that's not a distraction from your career, it's an insurance policy for it.Starting small and building smart. A portfolio career isn't a dramatic exit or starting from zero. It's taking what you've already built and intentionally redesigning how you use it. One speaking opportunity, one piece of content, one conversation outside your organisation - that's genuinely all it takes to begin.Send us Fan MailInvest in Yourself and Your Career:Community — Join our Network for mid-career women redesigning what's next in their careersCoaching — Join the Waitlist for The Portfolio Career Academy.

An iconic Canadian air show is going to be put on pause. The military's Snowbirds squadron will be grounded until at least 2030 amid concerns the planes aren't safe.

What does thoughtful philanthropy look like when the ambition is to deploy $6 billion over the next 35 years in support of girls' education? In this episode of the Do One Better Podcast, Alberto Lidji speaks with Dana Schmidt, Program Director at Echidna Giving, about the realities of large-scale grantmaking, the responsibility that comes with stewarding significant philanthropic capital, and why supporting girls' education remains one of the most evidence-backed pathways toward long-term social change. Echidna Giving is expanding rapidly, with annual grantmaking projected to grow from roughly $50 million to $200 million. Dana explains why giving money away well is far from straightforward. The conversation explores how funders can remain responsive to grantees, learn continuously, and avoid becoming disconnected from the communities they seek to support. Central to Echidna Giving's approach is a commitment to listening to those closest to the problems, investing in long-term relationships, taking measured risks, and embedding clear values into day-to-day decision making. The discussion also examines how philanthropic organizations can preserve culture and effectiveness while scaling. Dana shares how Echidna Giving formalized guiding principles for its work, used independent grantee perception surveys to gather honest feedback, and saw stronger results even as the organization grew and expanded geographically. A major theme throughout the conversation is proximity. As Echidna Giving has built teams closer to the regions where it works, including East Africa, its grantmaking has evolved. The organization has increased direct engagement with locally led institutions and is supporting efforts to strengthen African-led education research, with the aim of shifting who produces evidence and shapes educational priorities. Dana also outlines the areas where Echidna Giving concentrates its funding, including early childhood, foundational learning, and adolescent girls' education, recognizing these as pivotal moments that influence whether girls remain in school and thrive over the long term. The conversation considers how philanthropy can complement, rather than replace, public systems, acknowledging that governments remain the largest investors in education worldwide. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of effective philanthropy, trust-based grantmaking, systems change, and the challenge of turning substantial resources into meaningful, lasting impact.

In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Dr. Adonia Ayebare discusses the hidden diplomacy behind the Uganda–Rwanda fallout, regional security in eastern Congo, and the future of Africa in an increasingly unstable global order. As Uganda's Ambassador to the United Nations and a longtime advisor to Yoweri Museveni, Dr. Ayebare offers a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on how power actually works in East Africa and at the UN.The conversation explores the role of Muhoozi Kainerugaba in repairing Uganda–Rwanda relations, the operations of the Uganda People's Defence Force in eastern Congo, the unresolved conflicts in Burundi and the Great Lakes region, and whether multilateral institutions like the United Nations still serve African states fairly. This is a deep discussion on diplomacy, geopolitics, power, conflict, and Africa's future in a world increasingly shaped by force rather than rules.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media
